In this old man, he saw the same perseverance as the governor of the Huo family.
If his position had not been different at that time, he would have admired such people.
Heroes emerge from troubled times.
It's a pity that if we take action now, most of us will become rebellious officials and traitors.
The young man slowly calmed down his expression, pointed towards Taigong Xu, and opened his lips upon hearing the sound——
"Generals, listen to my order and kill!"
The war is about to break out.
Because the corpses of young men and slaves fished out from the sea were always floating in his mind, and he was always thinking about the misery of his daughter's death, Huo Qubing's eyes turned red.
The war lasted for a whole day and night, and in the end, all Xu's private soldiers were wiped out.
Old Mrs. Xu was hit by several arrows, and he died with his eyes closed because he could not complete the great cause of his ancestors.
According to historical records, in the third year of Yongkang's reign in the Jin Dynasty, the Xu family in Nanhai privately mined salt mines, sold salt, and mined iron ore to cast weapons. After being exposed by Yangzhou Governor Xie Yuan, they rebelled.
Xie Yuan led 100,000 men to successfully intercept the old man Xu who had not raised any troops at the border of Xin'an County, and killed him and his 100,000 men.
The Xu family had their heads displayed to the public, and the Xu family's descendants who managed to escape changed their names one after another.
From then on, there was no more Xu family in Nanhai.
Because they were reported to the imperial court, the salt mine and iron mine were soon known to Wang Dazai.
He wanted to covet these two mines, but was afraid of being snatched away by other nobles.
When the memorial was delivered to Dazai Wang, Queen Wang and Lu Zhong happened to be watching the memorial together.
Wang Dazai knew what happened to these two people, so he turned a blind eye.
But he looked down on Lu Zhong from the bottom of his heart.
How could a son of a guilty minister be worthy of his Wang family daughter?
But if his girl likes him, there's nothing he can do about it.
Anyway, it’s just a face.
When he learned that Wang Dazai was worried about the two mines, Lu Zhongji took heart. He looked at Queen Wang and bowed to Wang Dazai: "If Dazai can trust this official, you might as well let him handle this matter."
"Oh? You want to monopolize the minerals?" Wang Dazai narrowed his eyes.
"If a lower official marries a girl from the Wang family, the minerals obtained will naturally be given to the Dazai." Lu Zhong smiled slightly.
Wang Dazai thought for a moment and felt that Lu Zhong was right.
Whether it is the wife he is married to now or the king and queen he hangs out with, they are all daughters of his Wang family.
Everything Lu Zhong has now was given by him.
With Queen Wang watching, it was expected that Lu Zhong would not cause any trouble under his nose.
Wang Dazai thought so and nodded in agreement.
Lu Zhongsui led his people to leave Jiankang and went to the Governor's Mansion in Yangzhou in person, where he met with Xie Yuan on April 3.
The last time the two met was last year.
Seeing that Lu Zhong was in a dusty state and seemed a little tired, Xie Yuan asked the book boy who came with him to prepare tea for him to relieve his fatigue.
The tea is brewed using the brewing method, so the original tea aroma of the tea leaves is retained.
"When Shaohan moved to his new house, I was investigating the case of smuggling salt in Nanhai County. I never went to Jiankang to congratulate you in person. Now I am replacing wine with tea here to apologize to you." Xie Yuan raised the tea cup and smiled slightly.
Lu Zhong's heart moved and he returned the favor with a cup of tea.
After taking a sip, the refreshing fragrance of the tea suddenly relieved Lu Zhong from the fatigue of running around for days.
"The Dazai asked me to bring him an edict, saying that this case can be remembered as a great achievement, and that Tunan could even be promoted to Jiankang. However, he also said that you are still young and cannot join the imperial court." Lu Zhong
He lowered his eyelashes.
When he heard Lu Zhong calling him in small words, Xie Yuan was stunned and waved his hand——
"It doesn't matter, I have no intention of leaving Yangzhou. I am satisfied to be the governor. But Shaohan came to Yangzhou this time and I don't know why?"
"He came to those two mines on the orders of Dazai." Lu Zhong raised his head and smiled bitterly, "He wanted to steal the two mines, but he couldn't ask for them, so he entrusted me to talk to you."
Xie Yuanmo.
This old fox is really cunning.
"The dictatorship of my cousin Wang has already aroused dissatisfaction from the court. If we talk to him again, I am afraid it will cause a lot of controversy." Xie Yuan rubbed his chin, "If I had given the minerals to Shaohan, the power should have been given to the prince.
It’s a 100-day gift.”
Lu Zhong is already the Crown Prince and Tutor, and accepting the minerals on behalf of the Crown Prince will neither cause controversy nor benefit the Wang family.
And these salts and iron ores can also be used for good purposes.
Hearing Xie Yuan's words, Lu Zhong was slightly startled: "Tunan wants to give it to me?"
"You can't let me give it to that old fox." Xie Yuan laughed.
Lu Zhong pursed his lips and lowered his head, holding the tea cup with more strength.
Thinking that everyone was tired from traveling and traveling, Xie Yuan hosted a banquet in honor of them who came from Jiankang.
After Lu Zhong had rested, Xie Yuan gave the land deed to Lu Zhong and wrote it to the court while asking Huo Qubing to take Lu Zhong to Nanhai County to see the two mining lands.
Along the way, listening to the young man's energetic story about how Xie Yuan led people to escape from the mine, how dangerous they were when they met the Japanese, how they exposed their ambitions when they met the Xu family - Lu Zhong's heart was full of mixed emotions.
What was he doing at that time?
While Xie Yuan was thinking about how to help the people and how to expose Xu's conspiracy, he seemed to be thinking about how to please Queen Wang.
He and Xie Tunan are really very different.
After a light rain, under the leadership of Huo Qubing, Lu Zhong finally arrived at Nanhai County and saw the two mines that Xie Yuan had bought with almost half his life.
Almost all the salt and iron on the surface have been mined, and there is still a lot left in the mines.
It seems that because they were afraid of being discovered, they captured few slaves and young men, so they dug slowly.
Lu Zhong placed the people he brought here to continue mining salt and iron ores, and seriously went to other places in Yangzhou to recruit young men and purchase slaves for mining.
This time, people don’t have to eat Sou’s steamed cakes, and they don’t have to be stuck here all the time without being able to get out.
After Wang Dazai read the letter, he found that the minerals had become a hundred-day gift for the prince of the dynasty, and his face turned dark immediately.
But then I thought about it, the minerals were harvested by Lu Zhong, and the prince was still his grandson, so didn't they still belong to him?
Wang Dazai's gloomy face became happy again.
Later, the salt and iron mined were sold by Lu Zhong in exchange for money, and were indeed delivered to Wang Dazai.
After Wang Dazai received the money, he gradually relaxed his vigilance towards Lu Zhong and gradually stopped asking about the minerals.
Later, the dispute between the Wu gentry, the Han family and the Qiao family became more and more intense. Wang Dazai had no time to worry about the minerals, so he handed over the matter to Queen Wang.
As for whether the minerals at that time were converted into money and whether they were in the hands of the Wang family, only Empress Wang and Lu Zhong knew.
The story of Xie Yuan's fight against the Japanese pirates and the killing of the rebellious nobles spread in Yangzhou. Many people praised him as a national hero. More children from poor families admired Xie Yuan and were willing to join the academy as his disciples.
Of course, some people accused Xie Yuan of killing his compatriots.
Those people are all collateral branches of the Xu family in Nanhai. Although their blood lines are far apart, they are more or less related to each other. This chapter has been completed!
